The report, Which was based on a study of shipments to deploying customers, revealed that TollBridge holds a 100 percent share of the Voice-over-DSL carrier class gateway market. According to the report, "TollBridge executed on its marketing strategy that enabled it to operate successfully and to fulfill its commitment to ship product in 1999. The company aggressively targeted Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) that serve small business customers, using broadband access such as DSL, and introduced the TB50 and TB200 line of products on schedule to meet customer demand." The study also noted that TollBridge was the only company to announce product availability in 1999 as well as to actually ship product.
